    Report on-board Mistress

    We only had three people booked on today, so stayed inshore uptiding.

    The tides weren't ideal and the water is beginning to clear a little inside.

    We weren't disappointed though, between us we managed around 40 cod. The best lad taking 15 himself.
    Unfortunately nothing massive to report, the best went to Darren from Lincolnshore with a well conditioned 6lb + Cod

    We also caught, Lesser Spotted Dogfish, Pouting, Whiting and Ling. The rod tips rattled away all day for us.

    Pictured is Darren with is Cod, well done mate!

  • 29/11/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    29 Nov 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Whilst the boat is high and dry for her maintenance work we have the use of another boat.

    Five lads from Southport joined us for a trip off yesterday, which for me was a very pleasant change indeed after over 2 weeks of work on mine in the boatyard!

    We had a steady cruise out to the 7 and 9 mile ground where the lads had a picking of codlings pretty much all day. The water is still crystal clear out there and the artificials are still doing the business as well as the baited lures. Best lad taking around 12 codling himself, best weight around 7lb.

    The relief boat we have is fuelled and ready to go anytime so keep an eye on the weather and if you fancy a run off from now up until Xmas feel free to give me a ring.

    Cheers
    Rich

  • 11/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Nov 2013 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Firstly I would like to congratulate Mick on Avante and Ken for getting the biggest fish of the Uptide competition, well done guys!

    It fished well for us on Mistress too, we took 3rd and 4th heaviest fish overall, the biggest of any other species and junior section too. We only missed out on the heaviest bag by 1lb!

    The fishing was slow on a couple of days but others the fishing was exceptional, our best day saw us boating over 90 cod! we had another day taking over 80 too.

    The Inshore competition is over now for this year, but with the event being so successful, sponsorship has been pledged for next year and dates set! November 8th to 23rd

    The inshore fishing is still producing good numbers of fish, even though we are tied up at the minute with the weather, the shore fishing is throwing out lots of codlings and few better fish reported.

    Pictured is Mark Wilkinson with one of our daily prize winners of the competition

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Well, the work on the boat is running to schedule with both engines now out of the boat. The clean and paint up in the engine room is now in progress!!

    If the weather doesn't get too bad for us we should be able to work on her every day. Tarpaulin's at the ready if it does change!!

    I will keep you updated as we go along lads. The availability calendar is showing blue throughout November to give me chance to get well on with the work on the boat, but please feel free to give me a call at the end of the month if you fancy a run off as I do have the use of a mates boat. I will sail with a minimum of 4 anglers.

    A massive well done to Mick Leonard on AVANTE for winning the inshore competition here at Whitby. A mate and work collegue of mine here at Whitby. Congratulations Mick and also to Ken Lydell (winner)
    Last years inshore competition was won by the Never Can Tell. Seems these are the boys who know the inshore marks better than anyone else here at Whitby!!

    Cheers for now lads

    16 Nov 2013 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Another cracking day here at Whitby,

    We were greeted with a nice flat sea and sunshine today, hopes were running high due the northwesterly we have been experiencing here the last two days putting a bit more colour back in the water.

    Everywhere we stopped today we took a good number of fish, we left plenty behind in the search of bigger ones, as the sea bed inshore seems to be paved with loads of fish in the 2lb to 4lb range.

    The best cod caught was by Mistress regular Mark Wilky, weighing in at just under 6lb back at the Middle Earth Tavern for the weigh in.

    Also Whitby and Mistress Regular John Vero caught a ling just under 11lb taking top spot in the Any Other Species Section in our uptiding festival.

    The lads fished well, with the boat amassing around 80 cod for the day

    Pictured is John Vero with hid Ling - well done mate
